The green buildings in the middle are two small homes. They date from the late 1800s, but records aren’t clear on the exact date.

This home painted their home number on the transom in gold rather than a boring old number plate attached to the wall.

Done. Please oh please let hope and sanity defeat hate and chaos.

Cavalier Antiques, at the corner of S Royal and Prince, has been in business since 1946. The building was built in 1760 and you can still see the ghosts sign of Palace Cleaners.

The Crilley Warehouse on N Lee was once home to the Jamieson Bakery; famous for its biscuits, crackers, and bread. The bakery moved to this building in 1832, helping fuel the manufacturing and export industry in Alexandria. The building now hosts executive offices, restaurants, and shops.

This house at the corner of Prince and S Pitt is less than 900 sq ft. Built in 1780 and only a block away from King Street, I’m sure it has quite a history.

The Halloween theme on South Lee St is apparently skeleton Oktoberfest. Prost!

St. John’s Square was a Jesuit military academy established in 1833 and closed in 1895. It’s now 10 different residences in the building. I’m glad they kept the original Georgian style.
